Welcome to Montgomery County, Mississippi!

Last updated July 25, 2015

Welcome to the Montgomery County, Mississippi page, a part of the MSGenWeb and USGenWeb Project to provide free, on-line genealogical resources. Montgomery County is located in North Central Mississippi approximately 100 miles south of Memphis, Tennessee and 100 miles north of the State Capital in Jackson, Mississippi.

I am a long time amateur genealogist who has lived in Montgomery County for over 20 years and am excited about being able to help people researching their roots in our county. I am in the process of putting together several projects including marriage and cemetery records as well as the 1900 Montgomery County census. Please check back often as I make updates and additions to this site.

Remember, this site belongs to all of us researching our roots in Montgomery County, so feel free to offer any suggestions for information you would like to see added. Contributions and help transcribing databases would be greatly appreciated! Check under "Projects" for Montgomery County to see projects currently being undertaken and offer suggestions of ones you might be willing to take on!

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me via email using the "Contact Me" tab in the top navigation bar and it will direct an email to me at countycoordinator@ms-montgomerycounty.org

Neighboring Counties

Surrounding counties are Grenada to the north, Carroll to the west, Attala to the south, and Choctaw and Webster to the east. Carroll and Choctaw counties are particularly important to Montgomery County researchers as early records prior to the county's formation in 1871 will be located in either of those counties. I strongly urge anyone researching their roots in Montgomery County to check out the MSGenWeb sites of the surrunding counties:
